Cheap/Relatively in-expensive snake rack ideas?

[LP.]

I wanted to build one of the "Frugal Herper's Snake Rack"s that is stickied in the DIY forum, but I can't find the proper shelf, and tubs.

So does anybody have any designs like this that are fairly cheap? The most I'd be able to spend is $250 not including heating and a thermostat.


And for anybody that has no idea what I'm talking about, heres the link to the rack I said; http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...r-s-Snake-Rack

I hope that I'm allowed to post the link here, since it is on this site anways

Those shelves are everywhere. Just go to your local Walmart or Canadian Tire. You'll find tubs at those stores, too.

Less than $100 with out heat, I use back heat 11" flexwatt. Holds 28qt tubs

Where did you get the wooden shelves for those racks? I'm interested in building those. Are they melamine and how heavy are they? I didnt see them at Wal-mart.

I made my rack out of melamine, holds 5 cb70 tubs. Pretty sure all the wood and screws were about $100. I zigzagged 3" flex watt from top to bottom, belly heat.
